Events

APANO is proud to host events throughout the year that work to support our organization as a whole, through fundraising, education, community engagement, and fun. An Events Committee is formed annually to plan, coordinate, and execute major events. Please see APANO’s individual organizing programs for information about program-specific events. For information on our major events, please contact us at [email protected]

APANO’s annual fundraiser takes place in May each year as a celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. Typically held on a Thursday or Friday evening, this always proves to be a delightful evening. We strive to increase our participation each year while providing a delicious meal, showcasing various local performers, sharing the work and wisdom of a notable API keynote speaker, sharing our Voices of Change Awards, and fundraising for our social justice work. We are always looking for sponsors for this event, so please contact us for more information. All are welcome; tickets are required.

Every other year APANO produces a day-long statewide convention that offers workshops, networking opportunities, cultural performances, and at least one prestigious API keynote speaker. The day culminates in a banquet for all convention attendees. We are always looking for sponsors and partners for this event, so please contact us for more information. All are welcome; registration is required.
